*Pope Leo XIV Marks 43 Years of Priestly Service Rooted in Augustinian Spirituality* Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost, celebrated the 43rd anniversary of his priestly ordination on June 19, 2025. Ordained at age 26 by Archbishop Jean Jadot in St. Monica Chapel, the location holds deep personal significance for the pope—it later became his titular church as a cardinal. A member of the Augustinian order since 1977, his ministry has been shaped by St. Augustine's teachings on service and humility. A commemorative holy card from his ordination features a Last Supper icon and a poignant quote from Augustine: “I feed you with the same table that feeds me.” Pope Leo spent nearly 20 years as a missionary in Peru, embodying this spirit of service. In his recent homily as bishop of Rome, he echoed this ethos, stating that divine love liberates rather than possesses. He emphasized that true wealth lies in belonging to God—a gift that multiplies when shared.
